SCORING: Add up your points. If you have:

* 11 or more points. Even though you are not engaged in a formal exercise program, chances are good that you are getting a sufficient amount of physical activity each day. This is a plus, especially if you are covering your other health bases in terms of stress control, body weight, diet, etc.

* 5-10 points. You're probably in a little better shape than you think, but you can do much better.

* 0-4 points. You're a couch-potato all-star, and your health could be suffering for it. Try to build more activity into your life, no matter how trivial it may seem.
